The Big Rule

1. Tell them what you're going to tell them. 
2. Tell them. 
3. Tell them what you told them.

Try to have a good time - presenting can be hell
or heaven, it's all up to you.
Less is more. Keep it simple.

How to avoid a boring presentation?
25
How to avoid a boring presentation?

• Work on vocal variety! Speak to the audience as
  if in a one-to-one conversation so as to sound
  more natural.
• Lighten up! Add a bit of humor. There are lots of
  true and humorous anecdotes that would elicit
  laughter and get audience members on your side.
  Laughter will also ease a presenters tension.
• Dont tell us everything you know! We must not
  feel that we have to pack everything we know into
  one presentation. Usually covering three main
  points/topics is sufficient for a dynamic
  presentation.

26
How to avoid a boring presentation?

• Use visual aid with care! Dont read what
  audience members can see already - you lose their
  attention quickly. Also, boring visuals with lots
  of words and no graphics are a complete turnoff.
• Involve the audience! Ask the audience questions
  and encourage them to ask us questions or make
  comments on your statements.
• Prepare, prepare, prepare and practice, practice,
  practice! The more prepared you are, the more
  comfortable and enthusiastic you will be when
  presenting.
• Work on all of these youll never, never, never
  be boring!

27
You can gain the audiences attention by

• telling an anecdote, a joke
• mentioning a really surprising fact or statistic
• stating a problem
• asking a question
• The question "How many people here have a home
  computer?" is a lot more interesting than "Today
  I'm going to tell you about the Internet.
